Big Ben's Virtual Victoria

The site contains interactive panoramas of Victoria, Australia photographed by Ben Kreunen (with the odd detour interstate). Most of the panoramas are displayed using PTViewer and as such will require JAVA to run properly. The numbers in brackets at the end of some of the location titles indicate the number of panoramas at that location (if there are more than one).

Most of the panoramas here are displayed using a Java applet (PTViewer). I have had reports of problems using IE (Mac only) and Firefox (Win & Mac) although Firefox will usually work for a while.

: The Jaws of Death

Mountains
Victoria

The Jaws of Death were renamed to The Balconies for fear of scaring away international tourists who were superstitious about the names of the places they would visit. The steel rails had been cut off illegally for a photographic shoot but they have probably been replaced by now.

: City Square

Victoria

The city square has undergone a number of reincarnations but it never really seemed to function as a central focus for a thriving city. The latest reincarnation included allowing the development of a hotel on the eastern side, making it not much more than the front yard of the hotel.

: Chalambar Golf & Bowls Club

Ararat
Victoria

This is where I learnt to play golf as a young child. While I may be a little biased, this is definitely one of the nicest golf courses in Victoria and is worth the drive from Melbourne for a day of golf. The back nine often has kangaroos on the fairways.

: Studley Park Boathouse

Victoria

Studley Park Boathouse is a short row downstream from Fairfiel Boathouse, and just upstream from Dight's Falls. Studley Park has more space to walk around, with a sizeable bit of native forest for somewhere so close to the CBD.

: Melbourne Central

Victoria

The Shot Tower inside Melbourne Central. Since they couldn't knock down this Heritage listed structure, they just built around it. And now they're building some more, so this space is now getting smaller.
